Don't know the local hospitals. But, had better nurse to patient ratio than other hospitals I've stayed at. |
| Comments: |
An odd place - many of the staff seemed discontent: bickering with each other and expressing negative comments about management. But, the environment seemed ideal: small patient load, lots of support staff. I saw a cast of different characters -- 5 or 6 different nurses, a med nurse, one to take my vitals, one to change linen and spruce up the bed, one to help with medical procedures. Everyone had a different role and different schedule. The better I felt; the less notice was given to me (didn't have towels and soap for a while; didn't ask if I had gone to the bathroom after the catheter was removed). An odd experience overall, and yet, I felt I got very good care. |

This is a satelite to the main hospital, Einstein Medical Center, so I liked the suburban setting. It had all of the big city hosp. expectations, but with a more comfortable surrounding. |

Staff is friendly, always introduces themselves by name, title and what they are planning to do. All are patient, courteous and knowledgable. Staff compliment each other and other doctors and staff instead of talking negative. |

Einstein has a reputation for compassionate, patient-centric care. They were fabulous in almost every way. |
| Comments: |
My only con to this entire stay was that some of the nurse-aides were not willing to do little things for me because I was a bariatric patient and they have specialized bariatric nurses. So, I always had to wait for my Angel of Mercy Nurse, Mercy. Yes that was her name....she was a fabulous nurse who worked her a** off for her patients. Then Evelyn was my nurse in the morning, and she was a hoot, and was extremely helpful. Overall my nurses were great, but their aides were annoying. Overall, though, it was a nice stay in a private room and all my visitors were accomodated perfectly. |
